The word clock is derived ultimately ( via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin ) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning " bell ".

When someone hit a scram switch the clock stopped and the display was replaced with the word " FOO "; at TMRC the scram switches are therefore called " Foo switches ".

The first version of Microsoft Windows included a simple graphics painting program called Windows Paint ; Windows Write, a simple word processor ; an appointment " calendar "; a " cardfiler "; a " notepad "; a " clock "; a " control panel "; a " computer terminal "; " Clipboard "; and RAM driver.

When synchronizing multiple clock-dependent digital devices together with video, such as digital audio recorders, the devices must be connected to a common word clock signal that is derived from the house black burst signal.

This can be accomplished by using a generator that generates both black burst and video-resolved word clock, or by synchronizing the master digital device to video, and synchronizing all subsequent devices to the word clock output of the master digital device ( and to LTC ).

On each tick of a sequencer clock a microcode word is read, decoded, and used to control the functional elements which make up the CPU.

A sign in a shop window in Italy proclaims " No tick tock | Tic Tac ", in imitation of the sound of a clock. An onomatopoeia or onomatopœia (, from the Greek ὀνοματοποιία ; ὄνομα for " name " and ποιέω for " I make ",< ref > ποιέω, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, on Perseus <</ ref > adjectival form: " onomatopoeic " or " onomatopoetic ") is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes.

The clock rate was 4. 25 MHz ( 1 MHz according to one source ) which yielded a word time of about 10 microseconds.

Digital recording equipment uses the connection for synchronization of various components via the transmission of word clock timing signals.

When the interface clock rate is increased to a point where its inverse ( i. e., its clock period ) is shorter than the largest possible time between signal arrivals, the signals no longer arrive with sufficient coincidence to make recovery of the transmitted word possible.

For instance, it is possible to set a GPU to run at lower clock rates when performing everyday tasks ( e. g. internet browsing and word processing ), thus allowing the card to operate at lower temperature and thus lower, quieter fan speeds.

When someone hit a scram switch, the clock stopped and the time display was replaced with the word " FOO "; at TMRC the scram switches are therefore called " foo switches ".

Recently, the word " speed " has erroneously been used in place of frequency and, in computing, its corresponding clock rate.

Each clock cycle produces a new N-bit output consisting of the previous output obtained from the register summed with the frequency control word ( FCW ) which is constant for a given output frequency.

Now I will never forget this incident .... We were at al-Malikiyya, the other frontier base and word came through about 6 o ' clock in the morning that one of our patrols had been blown up and Millie Law dead officer had been killed.

A barrel shifter is a digital circuit that can shift a data word by a specified number of bits in one clock cycle.

It included Write ( a word processor with a spell check feature ), EarthTime ( a clock ), Expense ( record keeping tools ), Reminder ( scheduler ), Phone Dialer ( communication ), Contact Manager and Calendar ( with an added daily Almanac ).

However, there was little to be gained from increasing the word size much beyond 32 or 64 bits because once this level was reached, performance depended on more varied factors, such as processor clock speed, bandwidth, and memory size.

A word clock or wordclock ( sometimes sample clock, which can have a broader meaning ) is a clock signal used to synchronise other devices, such as digital audio tape machines and compact disc players, which interconnect via digital audio.

The Constitution of the Southern `` Confederation '' differed from that of the Federal Union only in two important respects: It openly, defiantly, recognized slavery -- an institution which the Southerners of 1787, even though they continued it, found so impossible to reconcile with freedom that they carefully avoided mentioning the word in the Federal Constitution.

Harris J. Griston, in Shaking The Dust From Shakespeare ( 216 ), writes: `` There is not a word spoken by Shylock which one would expect from a real Jew ''.

I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

One finds it difficult to pass censure on the lonely figure who waited for days for a saving word from his zealously served idol, W.R. Hearst.

Fosdick insisted that a strong word was needed from Washington, and it was immediately forthcoming.

The rider from Concord was as good as his word.

They answered him in monosyllables, nods, occasionally muttering in Greek to one another, awaiting the word from Papa, who restlessly cracked his knuckles, anxious to stuff himself into his white Cadillac and burst off to the freeway.

`` Your wife just called '', she said, separating one word from another, exactly like a child.

Therefore it's a genuine pleasure to tell you about an entirely happy bodybuilder who has never had to train in secret has never heard one unkind word from his parents and never has been taunted by his schoolmates!!

You'll never hear `` sayonara '', the Japanese word for goodbye, from your guests when you give a hibachi party.

For example, probably very few people know that the word `` visrhanik '' that is bantered about so much today stems from the verb `` bouanahsha '': to salivate.

This approach requires that: ( 1 ) each text word be separated into smaller elements to establish a correspondence between the occurrence and dictionary entries, and ( 2 ) the information retrieved from several entries in the dictionary be synthesized into a description of the particular word.

Applying the techniques developed at Harvard for generating a paradigm from a representative form and its classification, we can add all forms of a word to the dictionary at once.

From the point of view of syntactic analysis the head word in the statement is the predicator has broken, and from the point of view of meaning it would seem that the trouble centers in the breaking ; ;

An attempted middle course might lead to devices like a 5000-word alphabetized dictionary from which every fiftieth word was selected.

Extreme caution should be used, however, to avoid the conflicting usage of an index word or electronic switch which may result from the assignment of more than one name or function to the same address.

This word was from the Spanish, meanin' `` polecat ''.

Later, the word became almost exclusively applied to a cow thief, startin' from the days of the maverick when cowhands were paid by their employers to `` get out and rustle a few mavericks ''.

The word hissed distinctly from Poet's lips as he struggled to his feet.

This was the first word from Jensen on his sudden walkout.

He took a midnight train out of Cleveland Saturday, without an official word to anybody, and has stayed away from newsmen on his train trip across the nation to Reno, Nev., where his wife, former Olympic Diving Champion Zoe Ann Olsen, awaited.

`` When Mickey went to the Yankees '', says Mark Freeman, an ex-Yankee pitcher who sells mutual funds in Denver, `` DiMaggio still was playing and every day Mickey would go by his locker, just aching for some word of encouragement from this great man, this hero of his.

We must not permit our society to become a slave to the scientific age, as might well happen without the cultural and spiritual restraint that comes from the development of the human mind through wisdom absorbed from the written word.
